I had a close encounter with a Goshawk this evening.  Heard many 
Bluejays shrieking outside my kitchen window as I was starting to 
prepare supper, so went out to investigate.  The hawk was in an area of 
our garden where we have a lot of trees and shrubs, and only a small 
path going through.  It had it's prey on the ground, and I approached to 
about 10 or 15 ft. from it, but couldn't tell what the prey was.  The 
Gos looked around to find the best way to escape, and after one failed 
attempt to get the prey aloft, it picked up the bird and flew straight 
at me.  I ducked, or I think it would have hit me.  Afterwards I found 
feathers, which showed that it had caught a Rock Pigeon.
